Waitin' For Money From Home

(album: My Own Way - 1967)

I met an uptown girl that said she'd show me around
So we took my money and went out to do the town
But my money ran low so she don't come around no more
And I'm a walking and a wondering what I ever did come here for

Cause this rain is cold and I've never been so alone
I'm a walking in front of Western Union waiting for money from home

I walk back and forth until my feet are sore
I've checked my pockets for a hundred times or more
The clock on the courthouse just struck half past nine
And I hope I don't I have to stay here another night

Cause this rain is cold and I've never been so alone...

I wish I was that man walking down the street
Cause he lives here and he's got ev'rything he needs
Oh I'm so hungry hungry as I can be
I wish mama would hurry and send that money to me

Cause this rain is cold and I've never been so alone...
I'm walking in front of Western Union waiting for money from home
